Then,the concept of the time value of money was introduced, and this led naturally to discounting andthe calculation of present value. Exercises for this section of the course were derived from realdata obtained from the world-wide-web to demonstrate to the students that the skills they werelearning were in use, and useful. Methods for valuing simple projects involving the purchase oflong-term assets were then explored, including a discussion of why simple-minded rules inwidespread use such as the payback period method could lead to incorrect decisions. Finally, weintroduced methods for selecting among projects

challenges they will address(Leijon, Gudmundsson, Staaf, and Christersson, 2022). Since problem-based learning has been effective in learning and improving CT skills(Ulger, 2018), it is always recommended to be utilized within the projects and assign-ments of engineering education. Based on these definitions, the challenging feature ofproblems can impact the student’s critical thinking though they are completely dif-ferent concepts. That is our main motivation to investigate this issue and recommendapproaches to distinguish these two terms for instructors and students of computer andsoftware engineering courses.

In the early 1970s, CSRE published thenewsletter/magazine SPARK, which emphasized the role of engineering in its social andpolitical-economic context, including especially labor relations. 11 SPARK highlighted andcriticized a range of “oppressive” applications of engineering skills and technology, withparticular attention paid to the connections between engineering and military. Instead ofworking on military projects, SPARK’s editors encouraged engineers to employ their skillstoward progressive, liberatory ends. One of the editors’ major goals was to bring
